Mud Dobber nest in the muffler?

Mud Dobber nest in the muffler?

I thought about that one too but it's pretty common I would think you could really tell by listening to it too. I am still gonna give it a +1 though

High speed jet was either missing or screwed out as far as it could be adjust ed. causing either near instant flooding requiring several starting rope pulls to clear.

Well we are getting some really good answers/guesses here guy`s but this problem was a really rare one and only one guess so far is close as it is in the right area, remember think outside the box.

Cause I get too many complaints from other readers if the picts are posted on each reply. So far all the guesses are all good ones but they are the fairly common problems associated with chainsaws and this saw had a one in a, I was gonna say a million but that would be inaccurate so lets say it would be rare at best.

[Jkebxjunke]

bad roller tip, bad clutch , bad bearing, chain on wrong, wrong or bad sprocket?
just guessing on some less obvious

 

[manostihl]

chain brake on?

 

[SawTroll]

Choke impossible to open with the lever?

 

[pioneerguy600]

We are getting some good response and some of the answers are getting closer to the problem area, should I let the answer out this evening or let it run until morning.?

I had a problem like this with my 154 she would start on the fist pull and ran great without the cover but as soon i put the cover she would shut off even at full throttle the cover was pushing the kill switch cable on the crankcase so it was shorting i just make a little hole to pass the cable but i don't know the source of your problem!

 

[husky154]

maybe the spark plug have not the right gap!!??
thats my guess

 

[HiOctane]

Diesel fuel.

 

[HiOctane]

Oil chain in fuel tank.

 

[husky154]

Diesel fuel.

he said -The saw would start and idle fine-!

 

[slabmaster]
